Moore Catholic capitalized on two recovered fumbles to score 21 points in the first quarter en route to a lopsided 46-0 victory over visiting Morristown Beard Saturday afternoon in Graniteville.

The Mavericks (3-0) recovered the opening kickoff on the MB 27-yard line, and after quarterback Russell Brown hit Chris Konecny with a 22-yard aerial, Brown went over from the 1-yard line for the Mavs first score.

Four minutes later, Nick Imburgia scored on a 19-yard run, and after the visitors fumbled another kickoff, Jomarta Broady rambled 24 yards to make it a 21-0 contest after just one period.

“Morristown wasn’t as strong as we thought they were,” said Moore assistant coach Rob Imburgia. “Once we took the early lead, we just turned the ball over to our running backs. We’ve got a few good ones, and they made the most of each carry. They were impressive today.”

The Mavericks racked up 398 yards on the ground against the overmatched New Jersey squad, including 105 yards and a touchdown on just two carries by Justin Ortiz in the second quarter when Moore took a 34-0 lead into halftime.

“We’re playing Cedar Creek next week,” Imburgia said of next week’s match-up at home. “The only thing we know about them is that they pounded our JV last year, so it will probably be our toughest test so far this season.”
